irregular problem that needs a reset

(1/2) > >>

vocrobot:
I hope I'm OK to post this here. I've had a look on the flyspray list of problems but I couldn't see it and never having used flyspray I'm a bit unsure of how it works.

The problem I have come across is when the player gets switched on it's fine for a short while, but after a while time indicator in the top right just shows "-:--" and I can't scroll through the menus. A reset is then needed to fix it and then everything works OK for a while.

I couldn't see a pattern to it but then I noticed that it happens a lot when I have just unplugged the player from charging (I top up regularly rather than running the battery flat). Sometimes I charge from the wall, other times from USB (disk mode and multimedia mode by pressing and holding the menu button). It may well have happened just by switching on from pwer off but most of the times it's been after charging up.

I am using version 3.5.1. I don't remember this happening with 3.5 and certainly never with version 3.4. Has anyone else experienced this rather strange behaviour? It's strange that it only seems to happen after charging but I'm sure it has happened when just switching on from power down.

EDIT: I'm going to try a daily build and see if the problem reoccurs but I am interested to know if anyone else has had this problem.



UPDATE: Installed daily build r25204 and it has happened again. Had the player in disk mode to transfer the build. When I powered up it was fine but after a minute the time went back to -:-- on the main screen and I've had to do a reset.

AlexP:
What player are you using?

vocrobot:
iPod video 80gb.

Chronon:
Try booting Apple's firmware when this happens.  Has the time become unset there too?

vocrobot:
I tried that and the OF clock is fine. After it has happened a reset sorts it but it has only started happening in the last two weeks.
